An Hour to Spare

At 10:00 this morning, I have a doctor's appointment to get a tetanus shot (I haven't had one in like 15 years) and a second Hepatitis A shot, which is for our travels to Turks and Caicos (ourhoneymoon destination). Somehow, I woke up, worked out, showered, got dressed, and made breakfast before I realized that I have a whole extra hour to kill before I have to leave for my appointment... which is wonderful(because I can relax and blog) and disappointing (because I could have slept for another hour). Oh well,carpe diem, I guess.

Breakfast this morning was similar to yesterday's: pumpkin oatmeal with dried apricots, but no walnuts today (we're all out).

Instead of topping my pumpkin oat bran with dried apricot pieces, I cooked them into the oat bran-- they were sweeter and softer that yesterday's apricot topping. Also, before my workout, I ate a good-sized bowl (approx. 1.5 servings) of Puffins PB cereal. My stomach was grumbling when I woke up! 

Mal and my arts and crafts project came out surprisingly well last night! Neither of our crafting skills even come close to those of Martha Stewart, but our place cards turned out really nice-- sort of stylish, but in no way perfect. I think they'll be perfect for the reception though. :)

Here's Mal stamping away... On my turn, he thought it would be "cute" to call me a "stamp tramp." Hilarious, Mal [insert sarcasm].
